Summer-only Guadeloupe wall dive with big fish.
Summer-only Guadeloupe wall dive with big fish.
Port-Louis boat operator required; the site is not a casual shore dive.
Pointe Montagnier is a summer-only wall dive in Guadeloupe's Grande Vigie cluster, reached by boat from Port-Louis. The face combines sponges, gorgonians, wire corals, and hard structure with hunting-fish action in the blue. Barracudas, jacks, groupers, and turtles are all plausible, and divers may also find the remains of a Jeep wreck. The site rewards confident buoyancy, weather checks, and simple wall navigation.

Safety Notes
Treat it as a seasonal, weather-managed boat dive; cancel if sea state or surf is up.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
A drift dive is implied.
Freediving
Not a freedive-focused site; the wall profile and seasonal boat access suit scuba more naturally.
Snorkeling
Not a primary snorkel stop; the better scenery sits on the wall and in the deeper drift line.
